Jujuism (juju) is a phenomenon that describes one way through which the normal order of events or people is influenced in favor of one or more people. The first question that would probably come to mind would be: Does juju really exist? In response, it is important to note that “seeing is believing.” People in the past have claimed to have fallen victim to the powers of Voodoo. If you still want to dispute the truth of jujuism, please wait till it is used on you. For instance, your spouse could inflict a spell on you to the effect that all you will be able to think of will be that spouse of yours. Nonetheless, it is appropriate to mention that there are certain powers that can overcome any form of voodoo.
In Nigeria, it has almost become the norm of the day for one to hear people saying that they have been ‘jazzed.’ This jujuism, in recent times, has not even exempted government houses. In the relative past, there was allegedly a juju-scare in the Oyo state House of Assembly. After the whole incidence, the speaker of the house came on air to say gibberish. He came on the airwaves to throw a tantrum of tirade. One then wonders if he would have been able to come on air to rant in public if he had probably been inflicted with leprosy or some other ailment as a result of the juju-scare.
Now, I’d like to take all this to the world of imaginative possibility. Nigeria is a country that is ‘blessed’ with a thousand and one charms, juju, voodoo, etc. Has anyone ever thought of the possibility of Nigeria been a great nation (with the aid of juju). It is however sad that the best we seem capable of doing with our juju is evil. I can imagine some people thinking up the idea of coming for the head of Mahatma Honey (the writer) for bringing forth such a ‘crazy’ idea. But it lends credence to ask if anyone has ever considered the creation of airplanes a miracle—the result of some juju. Of course, when the Wright brothers came with their idea, some people may have tagged them “mad.” To anyone that may think like that, may I inform you that before anyone can become great, such a person must have done something that has been considered “crazy” by some people.
Is the black race destined for doom? Why must we only be innovative at doing evil? To all evil doers, remember that the evil humans do live with them and their next generations. It is obvious that the evil Nigerians have been doing are still living with us, even till date. But I am glad to inform you that Nigeria is not doomed for failure. We can turn our doom into bloom. Only if we try. Even though there is a possibility of some good emerging from juju, it is important to point out that there is more to being innovative than by jujuism. Let’s all put on our thinking cap. Look around you today. Identify a problem. Find a way out of it for yourself and for others. THE WORLD AWAITS THE MANIFESTATION OF MORE NIGERIANS. THE WORLD AWAITS YOUR MANIFESTATION. God Bless Nigeria.
Mahatma Honey
… the great soul …
